“Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’” – This is one of four tracks on Thriller that “The King of Pop” got sole songwriting credits on. Michael Jackson wasn’t only a great singer & dancer, he was also a excellent songwriter.

“Baby Be Mine” – To get an idea of how good the Thriller album is consider this: “Baby Be Mine” is one of only two songs that wasn’t a hit single. This is a pretty great tune to be one of just two songs not released as a single.

“The Girl Is Mine” – The lyrics are cheesy as hell but I think that’s part of the song’s charm. This is a tune I’ve started to enjoy more and more over time. The back & forth between Michael & Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney damn sweet. Jackson wrote this song.

“Thriller” – Too many people think just about the groundbreaking music video and forget about the song itself. It’s a brilliant song and MJ’s incredible vocals really put it over the top. I don’t think any other artist could have really made this song work.

“Beat It” – The “rock crossover” song on the album includes a great guitar solo by Eddie Van Halen. This is the kind of thing that Jackson doesn’t get enough credit for, he was really pushing the envelope of what pop music could be. Jackson wrote “Beat It.”

“Billie Jean” – The most perfect example of a Michael Jackson track. If you are ever questioning MJ’s songwriting ability, remember that he wrote “Billie Jean”.

“Human Nature” – This is one of the songs I enjoy most these days because it hasn’t been overplayed like many of the other songs on Thriller. It’s a really pretty tune.

“P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)” – I don’t think any song makes me want to “get down” more than “PYT.” Much like the beautiful “Human Nature,” this tune is among my favorite songs on the album because it hasn’t been included in so many greatest hits albums.

“The Lady In My Life” – The worst tune on the album? Probably. Still pretty darn good? For sure.
